just cuz you connect with aol doesn't mean you have to use their piece of shit software that comes with it.
use firefox here, and everywhere, for best results.
i will not code the site and waste my time to make it work in browsers that don't support webstandards.
I'm NOT the only one doing this.

IE can't count.
you'll notice on the home page, the middle column is down 1/2 pixel than the left and right columns. don't ask me. every other browser gets it right.
